I think we've had a good example recently of why we value the rule of law, and what becomes possible when rulers decide they don't need to attend to it.

Seriously?

You think the current example of why it doesn’t work, is an example of why we need it?

I guess it'd be okay to ignore the rule of law so long as the powerful did things I agree with. 🙄

The rule of law is that the rich break it every day, and get away with it.

Sounds like all your problems are exactly with the current system and its rule of law. Yet you keep defending it.
